Application filed February 8, 1918, Serial No. 215,95. Renewed August 12, 1922. Serial No. 581,495.

a citizen of the United States, residing in Allendale in the county of Bergen and New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement iniMachines and Methods for Cutting and Applying Gasket Liners, of which the followlng is a specification.

This invention relates in general to machines and methods for cutting and applying gasket liners to the flanges of can ends and has for its object broadly the provision of an automatic continuously operating machine of improved construction and rapid operation.

An important object of the invention is the provision of a machine which will out the liners from a continuously traveling web or sheet of paper or other gasket lining material, thereafter maintaining mechanical control of the out gaskets and applying such gaskets to the flanges of the shouldered can ends.

The invention contemplates among other novel features the prov1sion of mechanism for cutting gaskets from a continuously moving web in such fashion and in such numbers that minimum waste of material results.

The invention has for another important object the provision of a machine for cutting and applying gasket liners, the parts of which are so constructed and arranged that it is unnecessary to repeatedly stop and start heavy masses of machinery with consequent expenditure of considerable power and energy so that in a machine embodying this invention theoperation may be at relatively high speed and with smooth even operation.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a machine of the character described consisting of relatively few parts and having high efficiency and unlikely to require frequent repair or replacement.

-Numerous other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as it is 1 Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same looking from the right in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of this ma- Figs. 6 and 7 are together partial vertical sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 and 7-7 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 8 is a partial vertical sectional view iaken2 substantially on the line 8-8 of Fig.- 9 is a similar section taken on the same line and looking in the opposite direction as indicated by the arrow 9 in Fig. 2; Figs. 10 and 11 are together a partial vertical sectional view taken on the line 10- 10 and 11-11 in Fig. 1;

Figs. 12 and 13 are together a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 12-12 and 13-13 of Fig. 2;

Figs. 14 and 15 are together a horizontal sectional view of the base of the machine taken just above the cover plate of the turrets' Fig. 16 is a vertical section through the upper portion of the machine taken substantially upon the line 16-16 of- Fig. 2;

Fig. 17 is a similar view taken substan-. tially on the line 17-17 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 18 is a similar section taken substantially on the line 18-18 of Fig. 1;

Flg. 19 is a horizontal section taken substantially upon the line 19-19 of Fig. 16;

Fig. 20 is a partial vertical sectional view taken on the line 20-20 of Fig. 19;

Fig. 21 is a similar view taken on the line 21-21 of Fig. 1e;

Fig. 22 is a diagrammatic development of the knock-out punch cam;

Fig. 23 is a similar development of the gasket and center unch cam Fig. 24 is a similar development of a can end roller cam;

Fig. 25 is a similar development of the gasket placing cam; and

Fig. 26 is a diagrammatic plan view showing a movement of the strip or web of paper and the circular movements of the turrets with their operating parts.

The machine shown on the drawing is provided with two horizontal turrets each equipped with four operating stations continuously movable with the turret and
